Throughout Tennessee’s game against BYU, one thing became painfully obvious. Offensive coordinator Jim Chaney had no confidence in quarterback Jarrett Guarantano in the second half. Chaney hid Guarantano for most of the second half as the Vols tried to cling to their lead that they built up in the first half.
Guarantano let the Cougars back in the game to open the second half, tossing an interception into triple coverage. BYU quickly punched into the endzone a few plays later, climbing right back into contention.
From that point on, Chaney went into an ultra-conservative gameplan — but who could blame him?
